EU leading the way in newly installed solar cells

The JRC's Institute for Energy (IE) published the ninth Annual Photovoltaics Status Report today. The study highlights that, in 2009, newly installed photovoltaic (PV) cells world-wide produced a peak amount of electricity estimated at 7.4 GW, out of which 5.8 GW was located in Europe. Similarly to previous years, this shows the EU's dominance in this field, where more than three quarters of the world's new PV modules were installed. By the end of 2009, Europe's cumulative installed PV electricity generation capacity (existing and newly installed) was 16 GW, which is about 70% of the world's total (22GW).
